MapStruct is great

[Gaël Marziou]

Hi all,

I must admit I was not convinced by MapStruct at first sight but after I took time to understand it I really enjoyed it, thanks for this great feature.

One thing that bugged me a little is with an entity Order with OneToMany relationship with OrderItem entities, the OrderDTO does not include the List<OrderItem> property.

In my case it, I wanted to be able to create the Order with its OrderItems with a single POST.

Rather than having not generating it in DTO, I think it would be nicer to generate full mapping but add ignore=true by default in the Mapper.

I also think that we could add more comments in generated code to guide the developer maybe by a link to mastruct doc.

Cheers,

Gael

If one removes the mapping with ignore=true will Hibernate then create or update OrderItem entities automatically or is there need for annotating the entity as well?

You have to put Cascade.ALL on relationship property in your JPA entity.
